Harrigans Restaurants Close on Court Order

Fort Worth, Texas-The Harrigans restaurant chain
has officially closed its doors, after months of trying to reinvent
itself in a more casual format.

Pinnacle Restaurant Group, which owns the chain, had filed for
bankruptcy court protection in March as it sought to reorganize.
But a federal bankruptcy court in Dallas recently converted the
Irving-based group's bankruptcy from a Chapter 11
reorganization into Chapter 7 liquidation.

Pinnacle had hoped to convert many, if not all, of the 10
Harrigans in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma to a CJ's Roadhouse
concept, which offered casual dining and takeout food. The chain
had closed all four of its Metroplex Harrigans, reopening one along
Interstate 20 in Arlington in June as the first-and, it
turned out, only-CJ's in Tarrant County. -Fort Worth
